Total Giving Statistics And Average Individual Giving
Annual religious contributions in 1970s were estimated at over $14 billion. That includes 9.5 billion from Protestants, 3.7 billion from Catholics, and 847 million from Jews.
The total given to all charitable causes in America came to about $26.88 billion.
Each Protestant Christian in 1976 gave an average of $137.09. In 1966, it was $77.75. Counted in purchasing power of the dollar, the 1976 giving was about 50¢ higher.
An estimated 82¢ of each dollar given to the church stayed with the local congregation.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD 
The statistics are interesting, but I don’t think God is interested in them. He wants us to give from our hearts.

Oh I agree and that’s the point. God’s children need to give generously AND cheerfully what the Lord lays on their hearts. The statistics show me that many aren’t truly listening to that “still small voice” of the Lords. God Bless Sister Kathy!
